Years ago I had a livejournal, well, I still have it, but it has been relatively untouched for sometime.
This new blog is going to serve as a place for me to hit my word count. I hope to put this space to good use, and create a place for me to write, here in the cyberspace.
I haven't really written since my mum died three years ago. I wrote a play a few months after she died, but that was for my Master's program, and I had to do it.
I do not want an "office" job, or a customer service based job. To some people in my life this makes me a non-contributing member of society. If I must find some external source of money, I want to do something that I find fulfilling and gratifying. My dream is to write, I want to write. I want to be a successful writer. In order to do this, I have to write, or at first, just hit my word count.
I have been actively not writing for three years. This blog is my deal with myself to hit a daily word count, and to contribute to my creative life, and to find my voice again. I haven’t decided if this will be a place to showcase fiction, or place like a journal, or something in-between the two. If it decides it wants to be a journal, I’m not sure how personal I care to get.
My rules:
- to hit or exceed the word count
- to hit or exceed the word count daily
- to have fun with it

Yesterday, the doctor called with some blood test results. I am extremely Vitamin D deficient. The vitD level was 5.3, and most studies suggest being in the 50-80 range. He called in a prescription to the pharmacy, and sadly, did not recommend that I move somewhere sunny and warm.
I am an insulin-dependant diabetic with some digestive issues, and I have concern for what I put into my body. I don’t trust pharmaceuticals for all of my needs, so when he prescribed a pharmaceutical vitamin D tablet (with insurance: $1.66 a tablet) I gladly refused. I picked up the same IU of Vitamin D3 from the organic market at a whopping .13 cents a tablet. Later, through an Internet search I found out that they make the pharmaceutical by harvesting cells from radiated mushrooms. I’ll pass on that one, thanks.
I found this site informative and interesting:
http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/
That’s 400 words, and seems like a nice beginning.
See you tomorrow.
